• abbreviations
• multiple-meaning words
• homophones

To Use as Daily Language Review Worksheets

This product is designed with two half sheets on each page, so print 1 copy for every 2 students. For example, if you have 20 students, run 10 copies. Cut in half and distribute to students for independent practice. To maximize the learning opportunity, spend 5-10 minutes reviewing the correct answers with the class and allow students to make self-corrections.

To Use as an ELAR Center
Print a stack of the cards for the day and place them in one of your centers or designate it as seatwork during one ELAR or Daily 5 rotation. As you finish a mini-lesson and break out to meet with a smaller group, have others complete the daily practice as an independent activity.

To Use as Task Cards
Print a whole set of review cards and have students work through the cards together, in groups, or independently to review the concepts.

To Use as Assessment
These half-page worksheets are great for quick assessments to gauge student understanding with just a few questions so can implement intervention if needed before moving more in-depth on a topic.

To Use as Bell Ringers
Display one-half page as a morning greeting on your whiteboard to get students engaged in language thinking first thing in the morning. As part of your morning meeting discuss the answer to each question and annotate on the screen as a group.

Daily Language Review - 4th Grade Language Spiral Review - YEAR LONG BUNDLE

Bonne rentrée ! Cette activité permettra à vos élèves de/d':

• explorer les livres dans votre classe,
• faire des recommandations à ses pairs,
• utiliser les recommandations de leurs pairs pour découvrir de nouveaux livres,
• faire des liens avec des lectures et des expériences passées,
• créer une « liste de souhaits » de lecture pour l'année scolaire.

Cette ressource est l'une de mes activités préférées pour la rentrée. Plusieurs versions de cette activité sont incluses selon l'âge de vos élèves ! Les élèves utiliseront des trombones ou des pinces à linge pour attacher leurs recommandations à leurs couvertures de livres préférées.

Ensuite, ils créeront leur propre liste de souhaits de livres en fonction des recommandations des camarades de classe.

Enfin, les élèves écriront un court texte persuasif expliquant pourquoi ils pensent que leur livre est le MEILLEUR, ce qui vous donnera un petit échantillon d'écriture afin que vous puissiez mieux répondre aux besoins de vos nouveaux élèves.

Merci!!
